"Maybe this will be the night that we kiss for the first time..."

-Shawn Mendes, "Imagination"

Shawn's POV

"I just love you" Moon said and then we both stayed there, looking into our eyes in shock.

I felt this weird feeling inside. My heart beats faster than ever, I am having difficulty breathing, my whole body feels numb, and I have butterflies in my stomach, not letting me think straight.

I am somehow used to this million feelings because it has happened ever since I met Luna. At first, I thought it was my nervousness of being around her since she seemed a little intimidating, but as I got to know the real her, it didn't stop and just kept growing. The only valuable reason is that I have feelings for her.

She is so free-spirited and independent. How she acts as herself around me and makes my life more interesting. She may not think she is important to others or that she isn't special, but for me, she is everything.

I can't lay my eyes off her brown-rich eyes and how a strand of hair always falls down her left temple when she laughs. How happy she looks when she took the photos of the moon that night and how she trusted me with her secret.

I just want to be the person that when the time she feels she can't keep up with her miserable life, she can rely on me and remember she is not alone. That I will always have her back because I care about her.

Then, this weird thing came to me. I closed my eyes and leaned forward. This may be crazy, even illogical, but I just need to know how kissing her feels like, and even if she likes me back.

Then, something astonishing happens. I feel her leaning forward, too. I open my eyes to make sure it's not just my imagination and I see her. Her eyes were the type of brown that was like a sweet chocolate. Our eyes locked as she she bit her bottom lip without knowing.

She was in worry, knowing if she wanted to kiss me or not. I place my right hand on her cheek and caressed it, giving me a rush of electricity up my arm. I could see the goosebumps on the arm over her knee rise up. She closed her eyes and fireworks flew.

At first touch, my heartbeat went a million miles per hour and my breathing became very much irregular. I could feel her soft, plump lips with mine. Making the whole world stop for a minute.

We kissed in perfect synch, making me swoon. I could feel her smile as we kissed

Luna's POV

I smiled as we kissed. I couldn't believe what was actually happening. The intense butterflies in my stomach and that the only sound I could hear was our hearts beating. If it wasn't for this moment, I would have never noticed how much I craved this kiss. His touch at my lips make my whole body quiver and makes me think I am in heaven. I pass my fingers through his curly hair, making him smile, too. This is surreal, maybe I am just dreaming.

But then, my thoughts flash back. I can't be with Shawn. If by any chance she finds out I kissed Shawn and that someone in school cares for me, I will surely be beaten up tomorrow. This isn't right, even though I wish this kiss would last an eternity.

I slowly part my lips from him, not wanting to open my eyes. I lower my hands to his shoulder and push him slightly back. He receives the message and lean back to his original position. I open one eye first after the other and see that it isn't a dream.
